Start A Baking Supplies Store

Every bakery requires a constant supply of baking tools and ingredients to run effectively.

A bakery supplies store is a sweet spot for entrepreneurs who are passionate about bakery business ideas but do not want to sell baked products. They sell bakeware, ingredients, sprinkles and toppings, cake boards and drums, clamshell boxes, icing supplies, decorating tips, and other candy supplies.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a baking supplies store:

1. Gloria's Cake & Candy Supplies ($240K/year)

Linda Gonzalez, the owner of Gloria's Cake & Candy Supplies, came up with the idea to purchase and revitalize the failing family business after her aunt, who had run the shop for over 40 years, passed away. She quit her corporate job, bought the shop from her cousins, and implemented changes such as moving to a new location, redesigning the logo and website, and focusing on customer service and social media exposure. Since taking over, she has increased revenues by about 60% and is now considering franchising.

How much they make: $240K/year
How much did it cost to start: $105K
Current team size: 1
